MSPT Heater: Two-Time Player of the Year Umut Ozturk Wins 3rd Main Event Title of Season 17

When it comes to heaters in 2026, few are on a hotter streak than Minnesota’s Umut Ozturk , who has won three titles during Season 17 of the Major Series of Poker: The Tour (MSPT) . Last weekend, he topped a 406-entry field to win the MSPT Riverside Casino $1,100 Main Event for $69,451, which came less than a month after he bested a 2,442-entry field to win the MSPT Spade Poker Championship at Michigan’s FireKeepers Casino for $280,290. “This one, this one is for my wife, Alison," Ozturk told MSPT reporter Anthony Thompson after his latest victory.
